Miscellaneous

The elections are looming, personally, I'm not going to vote. I never have but I actually have a reason this year. They're all the same and they're all crap, but not just any old crap... you know what I mean. All they do is steal and throw stones, and these are the people who a supposed to have had the most highest of education. The people who are supposed to lead us out of the Recession. If you ask me the problem with the politicians in the UK is that they have all been galvanised with a thick, glossy coat of shit. They look fine to the untrained eye, they even look like everyday professionals in suits... except for that extra glossy coat. It's a coat you gradually build up with experience, the older you are the thicker the coat. Having said that David Cameron's pretty young for a party leader, but he's got 'dodgy' written all over him; especially with the eerily smooth face of his, it has no character at all. Then the James Gordon Brown, he's got more than enough lines but then he's got the creepy jaw thing. I don't believe any of them and if there was a "none of thee above because you're all f**king liars" option I would get off my arse come election day to my old primary school and tick that option.

And on a plus note I made something, I made some scarves. They involved a lot of stress (not really), tears (definitely not) and pain (well that's actually true, crochet hurts).

Me... an Officer... hhmmmm

I had to laugh. I'm not that fussed, anymore, about the things the jobcentre makes me do. I just tried to apply for a job as an Applicant Enquiries Officer at a university. Me. I had to do the standard registration thingy; the first question they asked was: Do you have A levels? So I answer YES, then they ask: Do you have any customer service experience in student applications? or something like that. It was one of those questions that everything hinges on, I could tell, and so I answered NO. 'I can not tell a lie'. It quickly takes me to another page with a message saying: 'Unfortunately you have not proceeded any further'... blah, blah, blah. Gee, I didn't see that one coming. I had to laugh. The job offered a £23,000-26,000 salary. Why would any employer in their right mind give me that much money, knowing that I have no customer service experience and that my last job was as a sales assistant in year 9 on my work experience. I had to laugh. Hehe.
